Printing to PDF on Android
Hi I have been absent from LC for a Little over a year. The last time I asked It didn't appear that it was possible to Print to PDF on an android device.
Is there a solution to this yet? I only need to print one card to a PDF file and then email it.
Thanks

Hi.
I don't do mobile, and I use an iPhone.
But I see in the application settings that the PDF printer inclusion has the android icon, which I assume means that this library is supported.

Hi Tom,
no, printing to PDf is definitively not supported on Android (yet?).
You can always check this in the dicitonary, there are all supported platforms for a command listed.
@Craig
no idea where you are seeing this but appearances are deceiving.

Hm. I thought it was going to be seen here, isn't that an android icon? ?
Re: Printing to PDF on Android
Yes, it is, but: Printing <> PDF library!
Scroll down to see that library without the Android icon.
Impatient young people of today...

Your mistaking 'impatience' with 'lack of comprehension ability', at this point in the morning, the 2nd is certainly lacking for me
Re: Printing to PDF on Android
Whatever, work on both!

All.
Attached is a screen shot of the inclusions pane in the "Application "Settings":
It could just be me, but "PDF" and "Printing" seem lawfully close together, along with that chicken, or whatever it is...

Hi Craig,
so what?
That's a penguin and stands for LINUX and not Android, which has this little green robot (android) icon.

Re: Printing to PDF on Android
Could a Widget be built that can take a card and generate a PDF of that card?
If so then one would be able to generate a PDF on Android.
Am I right?

Hi Tom,
Using Quartam PDF Library, you could generate a PDF from LiveCode:
http://www.quartam.com/
In 2011, Jan Schenkel published this Library as open source under
a dual license: viewtopic.php?t=7315
On Android, I could save vector graphics as adobe ilustrator 5, pdf and svg files
from a LiveCode stack into the Android Documents folder, so it should be possible
to save a PDF created from a card.
